The Shadowy Replication was such an inconsistent cultivation method that Ricky had to take advantage of his Golden Spirit Eyes which could see through all illusions. And that was the only way in which he would be able to see the true body of the Shadow King.
Killing an enemy who used Shadowy Replication was quite tricky—one could only kill his enemy by killing his real body when dealing with such an ability. If only the replication was killed, then everything would have been for nothing because the real body would still be able to create new replications of himself.
"You are already familiar with the Shadowy Replication, and it seems that you have probably once fought with someone of the Endless Shadow in other realms in the past. Your experience only gives me an idea on why you hate me so much," the Shadow King said coldly after he heard Ricky drop the name of the Shadowy Replication.
"Say what you want. Ever since I arrived in the Realm of Wildness, the Endless Shadow here has been doomed to be destroyed," Ricky said apathetically.
Buzz! Buzz! While he talked with the Shadow King, he secretly fully activated his Golden Spirit Eyes. Then, tens of thousands of golden lights suddenly broke out from his eyes.
"Brag all you want about your power but I pity you for having no shame! How dare you! Now you're just depending on the golden body to envelop your own body and protect yourself. And for as long as I continue my replication, I will smash your golden body and turn every inch of your blood and flesh into my bloody steam. In this way, I can avenge my men's deaths," the Shadow King said in murderous tone upon hearing Ricky's response.
Noticing the change in Ricky's eyes, the Shadow King then stared at him intently. "How powerful your eyes have become! I sense that a lot of danger is about to head this way!
But with my replication, no second-class upper spiritual king can let me feel threatened!"
Just right after Ricky activated the Golden Spirit Eyes, he saw Shadow Kings right before him. However, something really unexpected happened.
Shocked to his core, he could not believe that he saw not one, but three genuine Shadow Kings with the use of his Golden Spirit Eyes! Dumbfounded, Ricky looked again to check if he was dreaming. And what he saw was hauntingly right. There were indeed three Shadow Kings in mid-air, with all genuine bodies, with real blood and flesh. What shook him the most was that no replication could be found.
It was impossible, but it was real as the three Shadow Kings who stood in front of him were all true bodies of the Shadow King.
"How...how is this even possible?" Ricky felt incredibly confused and amazed at the sight right before him.
The Golden Spirit Eyes had never once failed him, for they could see through all illusions flawlessly. And seeing three Shadow Kings in front of him only confirmed that they were all real bodies.
'Does that mean his replication has no difference with his true body? Does that make every one of his replications equal to his true body?' Ricky's mind raced wildly.
At the same time, the Shadow King also paid attention to Ricky's constantly changing expressions. From there, he understood what his eyes meant, and then he sneered, "I see. I know what's going on with your eyes now, boy. Your golden eyes could see right through the illusions."
Greed exuded from the Shadow King's eyes right after he saw the power that Ricky's eyes held.
"Your face doesn't lie for you have already known the secrets of my replications. Let me remind you that these are not just mere replications for each of my replications can be treated as my real body.
Thus I can confirm that everything you see is true, and that your eyes are not fooling you. What I have is the genuine Shadowy Replication."
Right after he finished his speech, the three Shadow Kings then broke out and showed their whole powers. One could easily tell that the Shadow Kings were strong just from the strength and confidence that they exuded. It seemed like Ricky had no chance of winning this battle.
"I think that I have changed my mind. Now I want to witness how powerful your golden eyes are. That being said, I won't turn you into the bloody steam for the time being. I guess you owe me gratitude for that."
"Your Shadowy Replication is indeed extremely out of the ordinary and miraculous which was beyond my imagination. But that doesn't mean that you can kill me with it. It is still strength that decides who is strong and who is weak," Ricky said heartlessly upon hearing the Shadow King's words. He had already calmed down from the astonishment.
"Now that your two other replications can also work as your real body, then it is clear on what I have to do to you. I need to kill you thrice."
